Python scripting for custom tools and exploits (introduction)
So far we have used pre-installed tools in Kali Linux to get our jobs done. The tools we use are written using many languages, one of the most important one being Python. This blog has enough script kiddie content already, and hence we are now ready to advance to the next level. Now there's no way I'm teaching Python here, so you have to do that yourself. However, once in a while, I will write a post in which we will write a Python script which does some kind of hacking. With time the complexity of the script will increase.

You can use any other resource too, there are plenty of website teaching Python coding.

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language.[19][20][21] Its design philosophy emphasizes codereadability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C++ or Java.[22][23] The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.[24]Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or proceduralstyles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive standard library.[25]Python interpreters are available for installation on many operating systems, allowing Python code execution on a wide variety of systems. Using third-party tools, such as Py2exe or Pyinstaller,[26] Python code can be packaged into stand-alone executable programs for some of the most popular operating systems, allowing for the distribution of Python-based software for use on those environments without requiring the installation of a Python interpreter.CPython, the reference implementation of Python, is free and open-source software and has a community-based development model, as do nearly all of its alternative implementations. CPython is managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.
